FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to N-containing heterocyclic compounds that are inhibitors of protein kinases including JAK kinases. In particular, the compounds are selective for JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 or TYK2 kinases and combinations thereof such as JAK1 and JAK2. The kinase inhibitors can be used in the treatment of kinase associated diseases such as immunological and inflammatory diseases including organ transplants; hyperproliferative diseases including cancer and myeloproliferative diseases; viral diseases; metabolic diseases; and vascular diseases.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

JAKs are kinases which phosphorylate a group of proteins called Signal Transduction and Activators of Transcription or STATs. When phosphorylated, STATs dimerize, translocate to the nucleus and activate expression of genes which lead to, amongst other things, cellular proliferation such as proliferation of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, and cause hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes.

A review of the JAK/STAT literature offers strong support to the hypothesis that this pathway is important for the recruitment and marshalling of the host immune response to environmental insults, such as viral and bacterial infection. Information accumulated from gene knock-out experiments have underlined the importance of members of the JAK family to the intracellular signalling triggered by a number of important immune regulatory cytokines. The therapeutic possibilities stemming from inhibition of the JAK/STAT pathway are thus in the sphere of immune modulation, and as such are likely to be promising drugs for the treatment of a range of pathologies in this area. In addition inhibitors of JAKs could be used for immunological and inflammatory diseases including organ transplants, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as well as autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, mixed connective tissue disease, scleroderma, autoimmune vasculitides, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, Type I diabetes and autoimmune thyroid disorders.

The central role played by the JAK family of protein tyrosine kinases in the cytokine dependent regulation of both proliferation and end function of several important cell types indicates that agents capable of inhibiting the JAK kinases are useful in the prevention and chemotherapeutic treatment of disease states dependent on these enzymes. Potent and specific inhibitors of each of the currently known four JAK family members will provide a means of inhibiting the action of the cytokines that drive immunological and inflammatory diseases, such as those discussed above. Additionally, treatment of hyperproliferative disorders such as cancers including multiple myeloma; prostate, breast and lung cancer; gastric cancer; Hodgkin's Lymphoma; B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia; metastatic melanoma; glioma; and hepatoma, by JAK inhibitors is indicated. Additionally the use of JAK kinase inhibitors for the treatment of viral diseases and metabolic diseases is indicated.

Potent inhibitors of JAK2, in addition to the above, will also be useful in vascular disease such as hypertension, hypertrophy, cardiac ischemia, heart failure (including systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure), migraine and related cerebrovascular disorders, stroke, Raynaud's phenomenon, POEMS syndrome, Prinzmetal's angina, vasculitides, such as Takayasu's arteritis and Wegener's granulomatosis, peripheral arterial disease, heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension. JAK2 inhibitors will also be useful in myeloproliferatve disorders (MPDs) such as polycythemia vera (PV).

Potent and specific inhibitors of both JAK1 and JAK2 will be useful in the treatment of cancers including multiple myeloma; prostate, breast and lung cancer; Hodgkin's Lymphoma; B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia; metastatic melanoma; multiple myeloma; gastric cancer; glioma; and hepatoma.

Potent and specific inhibitors of JAK3 will be useful as immunosuppressive agents for, amongst others, organ transplants, and immunological and inflammatory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as well as autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, mixed connective tissue disease, scleroderma, autoimmune vasculitides, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, Type I diabetes and complications from diabetes, metabolic diseases, and other indications where immunosuppression may be desirable. Furthermore specific inhibitors of JAK3 may find application for therapeutic treatments for proliferative diseases such as leukaemia and lymphoma where JAK3 is hyperactivated.

Although the other members of the JAK family are expressed by essentially all tissues, JAK3 expression appears to be limited to hematopoetic cells. This is consistent with its essential role in signalling through the receptors for IL-2, IL4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-15 by non-covalent association of JAK3 with the gamma chain common to these multichain receptors. Males with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID) have defects in the common cytokine receptor gamma chain (gamma c) gene that encodes a shared, essential component of the receptors of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15. An XSCID syndrome in which patients with either mutated or severely reduced levels of JAK3 protein has been identified, suggesting that immunosuppression should result from blocking signalling through the JAK3 pathway. Gene Knock out studies in mice have suggested that JAK3 not only plays a critical role in B and T lymphocyte maturation, but that JAK3 is constitutively required to maintain T cell function. Taken together with the biochemical evidence for the involvement of JAK3 in signalling events downstream of the IL-2 and IL-4 receptor, these human and mouse mutation studies suggest that modulation of immune activity through the inhibition of JAK3 could prove useful in the treatment of T-cell and B-cell proliferative disorders such as transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases.

Prolonged immunomodulation through inhibition of JAK3 signalling should have great therapeutic potential for chronic diseases as long as JAK3 inhibition was achieved selectively and not accompanied by inhibition of other kinase-dependent signalling processes. In particular, the high degree of sequence identity held in common by members of the JAK family of kinases raises the possibility that a compound which inhibits JAK3 would also inhibit other members of the family with detrimental long term consequences. For example, prolonged inhibition of JAK2 is likely to lead to erythropenia and thrombocytopenia, since the receptors for both erythropoietin and thrombopoietin use only JAK2 for intracellular transmission of signals.

Compounds of the present invention may also be useful in targeting other kinases of therapeutic relevance, such as the Aurora kinases. The Aurora family of serine/threonine protein kinases are critical for the proper regulation of mitosis. Mammals express three Aurora kinase paralogs, and at least two Aurora kinases (Aurora A and B) are commonly overexpressed in human tumours including breast, lung, colon, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers. The Aurora A gene is amplified in many tumours, indicating that overexpression of Aurora A may confer a selective advantage for the growth of these tumours. Overexpression of Aurora B has also been reported to produce multi-nuclearity and induce aggressive metastasis, suggestion that the overexpression of Aurora kinase B has multiple functions in cancer development. Recent clinical experience and subsequent approvals of kinase inhibitors such as Imatinib, Gefitinib and Erlotinib illustrate that this class of enzymes will be useful for anticancer drug development. Aurora A itself has been identified as a particularly attractive drug target through observations that it can act as an oncogene and transform cells when ectopically expressed. VX-680, a potent inhibitor of Aurora A and B kinases, has been shown to suppress tumour growth in vivo. These findings highlight the desirability of identifying Aurora kinase inhibitors for use in cancer treatment.

Other kinases which may be useful therapeutic targets include CK2, TBK1, NEK9, LCK, ACK1, p38 kinase, FAK, CAK, CDK1, 2 and 4, GSK-3β, Abl, PDGF-R, PLK1, PLK2, PLK3, PYK2, c-Kit, NPM-ALK, Flt-3, c-Met, KDR, EGFR, TIE-2, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-3, c-SRC, LCK, HCK, LYN, FYN and YES.

Although the inhibition of various types of protein kinases, targeting a range of disease states, is clearly beneficial, it has been to date demonstrated that the identification of a compound which is selective for a protein kinase of interest, and has good “drug like” properties such as high oral bioavailability, is a challenging goal. In addition, it is well established that the predictability of inhibition, or selectivity, in the development of kinase inhibitors is quite low, regardless of the level sequence similarity between the enzymes being targeted.

The challenges in developing a therapeutically appropriate JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 or TYK2 inhibitors or combinations thereof, and aurora kinase inhibitors for use in treatment of kinase associated diseases such as immunological and inflammatory diseases including organ transplants; hyperproliferative diseases including cancer and myeloproliferative diseases; viral diseases; metabolic diseases; and vascular diseases, include designing a compound with appropriate specificity which also has good drug likeness properties.

There is therefore a continuing need to design and/or identify compounds which specifically inhibit the JAK and aurora family of kinases, and particularly compounds which may preferentially inhibit one or more of the JAK kinases relative to the other JAK kinases. There is a need for such compounds for the treatment of a range of disease states.

Process of Making Compounds

Compounds of the general formula I are generally prepared from a dihalogenated heterocycle. The process may be performed in either the order described below or the reverse of such.

The first step of the process typically involves a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of the dihalogenated heterocycle with a suitable amine. The nucleophilic aromatic substitution is typically carried out by addition of the amine to the dihalogenated heterocycle in a solvent such as ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, tert-butanol, dioxane, THF, DMF, toluene, NMP or xylene. The reaction is typically performed under conventional or microwave heating in the presence of an acid such as HCl or p-toluenesulfonic acid or in the presence of base such as a non-nucleophilic base such as triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine, or an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate. Alternately the reaction can be carried out without solvent.

Alternatively, the amine substituent may be introduced through a transition metal catalysed amination reaction. Typical catalysts/ligands for such transformations include Pd(OAc)₂/P(t-Bu)₃, Pd₂(dba)₃/BINAP and Pd(OAc)₂/BINAP. These reactions are typically carried out in solvents such as toluene or dioxane, in the presence of bases such as caesium carbonate or sodium or potassium tert-butoxide at temperatures ranging from room temperature to reflux (e.g. Hartwig, J. F., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1998, 37, 2046).

The amines employed in the first step of the synthesis of these compounds are obtained commercially or are prepared using methods well known to those skilled in the art.

The second step of the process typically begins with a cross-coupling reaction between the monohalogenated derivative obtained above and a suitably functionalised coupling partner. Typical coupling partners are organoboronic acids or esters (Suzuki coupling: see for example Miyaura, N. and Suzuki, Chem. Rev. 1995, 95 2457), organostannanes (Stille coupling: see for example Stille, J. K., Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl., 1986, 25, 508), Grignard reagents (Kumada coupling: Kumada, M.; Tamao, K.; Sumitani, K. Org. Synth. 1988, Coll. Vol. 6, 407.) or organozinc species (Negishi coupling: Negishi, E.; J. Organomet. Chem. 2002, 653, 34). The Suzuki coupling is the preferred coupling method and is typically performed in a solvent such as DME, THF, DMF, ethanol, propanol, toluene, acetonitrile or 1,4-dioxane, with or without added water, in the presence of a base such as sodium or potassium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, caesium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium fluoride or potassium phosphate. The reaction may be carried out at elevated temperatures and the palladium catalyst employed may be selected from Pd(PPh₃)₄, Pd(OAc)₂, [PdCl₂(dppf)], Pd₂(dba)₃/P(t-Bu)₃.

The products formed from either reaction step may be further derivatised using techniques known to those skilled in the art. Alternatively, derivatisation of the mono-halo intermediate may be undertaken prior to reaction of the second halo substituent. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the order of the reactions described for the syntheses above may be changed in certain circumstances and that certain functionalities may need to be derivatised (i.e. protected) in certain instances for the reactions described above to proceed with reasonable yield and efficiency. The types of protecting functionality are well-known to those skilled in the art and are described for example in Greene (Greene, T., Wuts, P. (1999) Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis. Wiley-Interscience; 3rd edition.).

The leaving group may be any suitable known type such as those disclosed in J. March, “Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms and Structure” 4^(th) Edition, pp 352-357, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1992 which is incorporated herein by reference. Preferably, the leaving group is halogen, more preferably chlorine.

JAK Inhibition

The compounds of formula I have activity against protein kinases, particularly the JAK kinases or aurora kinases and most particularly selective activity against JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 or TYK2 kinases or combinations thereof. A JAK2 inhibitor is any compound that selectively inhibits the activity of JAK2. A JAK3 inhibitor is any compound that selectively inhibits the activity of JAK3. A JAK1/JAK2 selective inhibitor is any compound that selectively inhibits both JAK1 and JAK2. One activity of both JAK2 and JAK3 is to phosphorylate a STAT protein. Therefore an example of an effect of a JAK2 or JAK3 inhibitor is to decrease the phosphorylation of one or more STAT proteins. The inhibitor may inhibit the phosphorylated form of JAK2 or JAK3 or the non-phosphorylated form of JAK2 or JAK3.

Selective and Irreversible Inhibition of JAK3

A PTK catalyses the transfer of a phosphate group from a molecule of ATP to a tyrosine residue located on a protein substrate. The inhibitors known in the art are usually competitive with either the ATP or the protein substrate of the kinase (Levitzki 2000). Since the concentration of ATP in a cell is normally very high (millimolar), compounds that are competitive with ATP may lack in vivo activity since it is unlikely that said compounds can reach the concentrations within the cell that are necessary to displace the ATP from its binding site.

An alternative approach which has been attempted in relation to EGFR is to design or select compounds which bind to EGFR TK in an irreversible manner. Such compounds are disclosed in Fry 1998; Discafani 1999; Smaill 1999; Smaill 2000; Tsou 2001; Smaill 2001; Wissner 2003. These compounds function as irreversible inhibitors by virtue of the fact that they can form covalent bonds to amino acid residues located at the active site of the enzyme which results in enhanced potency of the compounds in vitro and in the inhibition of growth of human tumors in in vivo models of cancer. A further benefit of such irreversible inhibitors when compared to reversible inhibitors, is that irreversible inhibitors can be used in prolonged suppression of the tyrosine kinase, limited only by the normal rate of receptor turnover.

Alignment of the four members of the JAK family of protein tyrosine kinases reveals that within the amino acids that comprise the ATP-binding pocket of these kinases there are very few amino acid differences that could be used to target potential inhibitors towards one family member or another. Interestingly, JAK3 alone amongst this sub-family of kinases possesses a Cysteine residue close to the front lip of the ATP-binding cavity (Cys 963). By targeting this Cysteine with a functionality bearing an alkylating group such as a Michael acceptor, or other such group that can react reversibly or irreversibly with the thiol moiety of this Cysteine residue, highly selective JAK3 inhibition can be achieved.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one of the compounds of the formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The carrier must be “pharmaceutically acceptable” means that it is compatible with the other ingredients of the composition and is not deleterious to a subject. The compositions of the present invention may contain other therapeutic agents as described below, and may be formulated, for example, by employing conventional solid or liquid vehicles or diluents, as well as pharmaceutical additives of a type appropriate to the mode of desired administration (for example, excipients, binders, preservatives, stabilizers, flavours, etc.) according to techniques such as those well known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation (See, for example, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., 2005, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins).

The compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable means, for example, orally, such as in the form of tablets, capsules, granules or powders; sublingually; buccally; parenterally, such as by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intra(trans)dermal, or intracisternal injection or infusion techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions); nasally such as by inhalation spray or insufflation; topically, such as in the form of a cream or ointment ocularly in the form of a solution or suspension; vaginally in the form of pessaries, tampons or creams; or rectally such as in the form of suppositories; in dosage unit formulations containing non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles or diluents. The compounds may, for example, be administered in a form suitable for immediate release or extended release. Immediate release or extended release may be achieved by the use of suitable pharmaceutical compositions comprising the present compounds, or, particularly in the case of extended release, by the use of devices such as subcutaneous implants or osmotic pumps.

The pharmaceutical compositions for the administration of the compounds of the invention may conveniently be presented in dosage unit form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. These methods generally include the step of bringing the compound of formula I into association with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing the compound of formula I into association with a liquid carrier or a finely divided solid carrier or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation. In the pharmaceutical composition the active object compound is included in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of diseases. As used herein, the term “composition” is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts.

The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compound of formula I may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents such as sweetening agents, flavouring agents, colouring agents and preserving agents, e.g. to provide pharmaceutically stable and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the compound of formula I in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. They may also be coated to form osmotic therapeutic tablets for control release.

Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the compound of formula I is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the compound of formula I is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.

Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxy-propylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl, p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.

For administration to the respiratory tract, including intranasal administration, the active compound may be administered by any of the methods and formulations employed in the art for administration to the respiratory tract.

Thus in general the active compound may be administered in the form of a solution or a suspension or as a dry powder.

Solutions and suspensions will generally be aqueous, for example prepared from water alone (for example sterile or pyrogen-free water) or water and a physiologically acceptable co-solvent (for example ethanol, propylene glycol or polyethylene glycols such as PEG 400).

Such solutions or suspensions may additionally contain other excipients for example preservatives (such as benzalkonium chloride), solubilising agents/surfactants such as polysorbates (eg. Tween 80, Span 80, benzalkonium chloride), buffering agents, isotonicity-adjusting agents (for example sodium chloride), absorption enhancers and viscosity enhancers. Suspensions may additionally contain suspending agents (for example microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose sodium).

Solutions or suspensions are applied directly to the nasal cavity by conventional means, for example with a dropper, pipette or spray. The formulations may be provided in single or multidose form. In the latter case a means of dose metering is desirably provided. In the case of a dropper or pipette this may be achieved by the subject administering an appropriate, predetermined volume of the solution or suspension. In the case of a spray this may be achieved for example by means of a metering atomising spray pump.

Administration to the respiratory tract may also be achieved by means of an aerosol formulation in which the compound is provided in a pressurised pack with a suitable propellant, such as a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), for example dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane or dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas.

The compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multilamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolisable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the present invention, stabilisers, preservatives, excipients and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and phosphatidyl cholines, both natural and synthetic. Methods to form liposomes are known in the art.

Efficacy of this class of compounds may be applicable to drug eluting stents. Potential applications of drug eluting stents with these compounds include pulmonary artery stenosis, pulmonary vein stenosis, as well as coronary artery stenosis. Drug eluting stents may also be used in saphenous vein grafts or arterial grafts or conduits. Drug eluting stents that release this class of compounds may also be applicable for treating stenoses of the aorta or peripheral arteries, such as the iliac artery, the femoral artery or the popliteal artery. The compound may be bound to the drug eluting stent by any of various methods known in the field. Examples of such methods include polymers, phosphoryl choline, and ceramics. The compound may also be impregnated into a bioabsorbable stent.

The active compounds may also be presented for use in the form of veterinary compositions, which may be prepared, for example, by methods that are conventional in the art. Examples of such veterinary compositions include those adapted for:

oral administration, external application, for example drenches (e.g. aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions); tablets or boluses; powders, granules or pellets for admixture with feed stuffs; pastes for application to the tongue;

Establishment of the TEL:JAK2 Cell Line

The coding region encompassing nucleotides 1-487 of TEL was amplified by PCR using the oligonucleotides 5TEL (5′-GGA GGA TCC TGA TCT CTC TCG CTG TGA GAC-3′) [SEQ ID NO 14] and 3TEL (5′-AGGC GTC GAC TTC TTC TTC ATG GTT CTG-3′) [SEQ ID NO 15] and U937 mRNA as a template. A BamHI restriction site was incorporated into the 5TEL primer, and a Sal I restriction site was incorporated into the 3TEL primer. The regions encompassing the kinase domain of JAK2 (nucleotides 2994-3914; JAK2F 5′-ACGC GTC GAC GGT GCC TTT GAA GAC CGG GAT-3′ [SEQ ID NO 16]; JAK2R 5′-ATA GTT TAG CGG CCG CTC AGA ATG AAG GTC ATT T-3′) [SEQ ID NO 17] and JAK3 (nucleotides 2520-3469; JAK3F 5′-GAA GTC GAC TAT GCC TGC CAA GAC CCC ACG ATC TT-3′) [SEQ ID NO 18] were generated by PCR using Taq DNA polymerase (Gibco/BRL) and U937 mRNA as a template. A Sal I restriction site was incorporated into the forward primer of JAK2 and JAK3, a Not I site was incorporated into the JAK2 reverse primer and a Xba I site was added to the reverse primer of JAK3.

A TEL/Jak2 fusion was generated by digestion of the TELPCR product with BamH I/Sal I restriction enzymes, digestion of the JAK2 PCR product with Sal I/Not I restriction enzymes, followed by ligation and subcloning of the ligation product into the mammalian expression Vector pTRE 2 (Clontech), which was prepared by digestion with BamH I-Not I restriction enzymes, to give the TEL/Jak2 fusion plasmid pTELJAK2.

The TEL/Jak3 fusion was prepared by ligation of the JAK3 Sal I/Not I cleaved kinase domain PCR product with the BamH I/Sal I restriction digested TEL product, followed by ligation of the ligation product into the BamH I/Not I digested pTRE2, to give the TEL/Jak3 fusion plasmid pTELJAK3.

The growth factor dependant myelomonocytic cell line BaF3 bearing the pTET-off plasmid (Clontech) was transfected with either pTELJAK2 or pTELJAK3, and the transfected cells were selected for growth-factor independent cell growth. The BaF3 wild-type cells were cultured in DMEM containing 10% FCS, 10% WEHI 3B conditioned medium. The BaF3 TELJAK cells (BafT_J2 or BafT_J2) were cultured in DMEM 10% Tet-System Approved FBS (without WEHI 3B conditioned medium).

Example 31 Testing of Compounds in Disease Models

The effect of the compounds on tumor initiation, progression and metastasis can be evaluated in relevant in vivo animal efficacy models. Models could be human tumor xenografts models in immuno-deficient mice, from human tumor cell lines or preferably from primary or metastatic human tumors. Other models might be human tumor xenografts grown in orthotopic sites, models of disseminated disease and transgenic or labeled tumors models. Models could also include surgical resection of primary tumor and evaluation of metastatic disease.

Models could be selected to ensure that the molecular drug targeted is expressed. Examples of tumors displaying deregulation of the JAK/STAT pathway include prostate carcinoma, breast cancer, colon carcinoma, including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, ovarian tumors, melanoma, lung carcinoma, glioma, renal-cell tumors.

Efficacy can be measured in these models by various outcomes depending on tumor type (solid, leukemia or metastatic) and might include measure of tumor onset, tumor growth rate, tumor burden, tumor growth delay, tumor cell kill, incidence of metastasis, imaging of tumor and invasiveness/metastasis by various approaches including labeled cells or reagents, survival, angiogenesis, histopathology.

The in vivo animal efficacy models might also be used for determination of the additivity or synergy of the effect of the compounds in combination with other drugs,

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, destructive inflammatory polyarticular joint disease characterised by passive synovial proliferation and subintimal infiltration of inflammatory cells. Although the aetiology remains to be elucidated, it is generally acknowledged that RA is an autoimmune disease and arthritis is a consequence of loss of tolerance against a cartilage specific autoantigen. In this context, animal models have been established that evolves around induction of RA by an autoantigen such as 1. type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and 2. a combination of an antigen from gram-ve bacteria (LPS) with a panel of 4 monoclonal antibodies (mAb). A third model of arthritis is the Adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) which is performed mainly in rats. The underlying mechanism of AIA is still controversial. However, a 65 kD myobacterial heat shock protein was shown to share a nonapeptide sequence in the core protein molecule of proteoglycan, and suggests that AIA is also a disease inducible by autologous antigen.

In AIA, eight-week old Lewis rats were given Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) prepared by suspending as an emulsion of heat-killed Mycobacterium butyricum in liquid paraffin at 12 mg/ml. CFA-induced arthritis can be stimulated by injection of 50 μl of CFA emulsion intradermally either in to the footpad or to the base of the tail. From day 7 (onset of arthritis), rats are examined daily for clinical arthritic score on a 0-4 scale: 0, normal; 1, minimal swelling; 2, medium swelling; 3, severe swelling; and 4, severe and non-weight bearing. For each limb, the mid-forpaw, the wrist, the joints of the fingers, the midfoot, the ankle and the joints of the digits are scored giving a maximum clinical score of 48 per rat. The animals are sacrificed on day 17 and the hindpaws are amputated and fixed in 7.4% formalin. After decalcification and embodiment in paraffin, the limbs are sectioned in a mid-sagittal plane, stained by eosin and hematoxylin and examined microscopically for pannus formation (cartilage and bone erosion and destruction), vascularity (blood vessel formation by CD31 staining) and mononuclear cell infiltration (T,B and macrophages).

In CIA, DBA/1 mice that bear H-2^(q) MHC haplotype are used as they are more susceptible to CIA. In general, heterologous collagen is used as they are more immunogenic/arthritogenic tha homologous type II collagen. The mice are primed with an emulsion consisting of bovine type II collagen and Complete-Freund's Adjuvant at a 1:1 ratio (final concentration=2 mg/ml). The emulsion (0.1 ml) is injected into the tail of each mouse approximately 1-2 cm from the base. A whitish bolus beneath the dermis should be visible. A type II collagen booster (200 μg per mouse) is given intraperitoneally in PBS on day 21. High CIA-susceptible mice (DBA/1) generally develop arthritis 4-5 weeks after initial priming Fully developed arthritis including red and swollen paws, can be observed 3-5 days after the onset and active inflammatory arthritis persists more than 3-4 weeks. Although inflammation will eventually subside, joint damage as seen as ankylosis is permanent. Assessment of CIA symptoms is essentially similar to the AIA model in which clinical signs is assigned clinical score (0-4) based on the severity of the disease. Histological measurements can also be performed on formalin-fixed joints to assess erosin, cellular infiltrates and hyperplasia.

In combined LPS-mAB induced Arthritis, a severe and consistent arthritis can be induced in mice by a combination of LPS and mAB cocktail that recognize individual epitopes clustered within an 83 amino acid peptide fragment located within CB11 region of type II collagen. This model was developed based on the hypothesis that bacterial toxin(s) absorbed through the GI tract play a synergistic and pathologic role with sub-arthritogenic levels of autoantibodies to type II collagen in triggering RA. The advantages of this model are: 1. synchronized arthritis (100%) is induced rapidly within 7 days 2. a variety of mouse strains can be used as administration of anti-type II collagen mAB cocktail bypasses the requirement for the host's generation of autoantibodies to type II collagen thus arthritis can be induced in mice that do not possess CIA-susceptible MHC haplotypes and 3. ease of administration of mAB and LPS by either i.v. and i.p. routes.

Inflammmatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) which includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) represents a group of chronic disorders characterized by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. CD can affect any part of the digestive track whereas UC affects only the colon and rectum. UC causes inflammation and ulcers, usually in the sigmoid colon and rectum. Cellular infiltrates are complex and pro-inflammatory cytokines are evident in CD and UC.

An experimental model of UC is established in Balb/C mice by administration of dextran sulphate sodium (3% DSS) isolated from Leuconostoc spp. into the drinking water. The experiment has a relatively short time-course (8 days) and parameters for assessment of colitis include loss of body weight, stool consistency, rectal bleeding, shortening of colonic length, crypt damage and cytokine analysis of colonic rings.

In CD, Balb/C mice are sensitized at day 0 with 2×50 μl of 5 mg/ml of dinitrofluobenzene (DNFB) epicutaneously to shaved abdomen and feet on two consecutive days. DNFB is typically solubilised in acetone:olive oil (4:1). On day 5, the mice are challenged intracolonically with 50 μl dintrobenzene sulphonic acid (DNS) at 6 mg/ml in 10% ethanol. The mice are sacrificed on day 8. Parameters to be measured include suppression of total blood cell number and cell types, mucosal mast cell protease 1 (MMCP-1) in serum, TNFα level in colon homogenate, stool consistency, vascular permeability and number of colonic patches. Number of neutrophils and mast cells which are indicative of colonic damage and cellular influx will also be assessed by histological and microscopical examinations.

Asthma is restricted to human species, but animal models are often used to investigate particular aspects of this human disease. Bronchial biopsies and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid recovered from patients with asthma have been shown to contain an increased number of activated T cells, B cells, eosinophils and mast cells. Many patients with asthma are sensitized and have specific immunoglogulin E (IgE) antibodies to one or more inhalant allergens. Atopy is, considered to be a major cause of asthma. In atopic individuals, inhalation of allergens preferentially induces a T-helper 2 cell (Th2) response. In the majority of current models, mice are sensitized by itraperitoneal (ip) injection of ovalbumin (OVA), often together with a Th2 skewed adjuvant, such as alum. In the classical mouse model for asthma, C57/BL6 mice are actively sensitized on day 0 by ip injection of 10 μg of OVA absorbed onto 1 mg of alum. From day 14-21 the mice are exposed daily to aerosolized OVA over a 30 minute period. On day 22, airway inflammation is apparent. BAL fluid recovered from these animals demonstrate an increase in peri-bronchiolar space consisting of mixed cellular infiltrates of mononuclear cells and eosinophils. OVA-specific IgE antibodies can be demonstrated in the serum of sensitized animals. The mononuclear cell population consists mainly of cells of Th2 phenotype secreting cytokines IL-4 and IL-5. IL-4 promotes isotype switching of B cells towards IgE synthesis and IL-5 influences the production, maturation and activation of eosinophils.
